Of the fifteen or so rigs on display, Larry, G4OXY explained that only two
were purchased as new. The rest were acquired as not working or being sold
very cheaply due to faults.Â* His interest was in finding a brick and
bringing it back to life. Most of his radios are from the 1980s, but his
earliest is from 1978.Â* Some radios were rare and considered expensive at
the time.

Larry detailed the specifications and faults found in each radio and how he
went about fixing them

He explained he didnt set out to collect vintage radios, he just liked to
get them working again. Once working they were set aside to make room for
the next repair project. Through the years, Larry has enjoyed the use of
his repaired radios on the air.
